“I believe 99.991% of America knows 911 is a lie deep down, but they just need the bucket of water dumped on the witch,” he wrote. “This is critical to remember.

He said he found a poll reporting that 36 percent of Americans didn’t believe the explanations of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It took only 33 percent of colonialists to incite the American Revolution, he said.
